SOP/Standard Callouts Airbus sigle aisle family:

MEMORY ITEMS:
The aim of such callouts is to callout the apropriate procedure by calling out, in most cases, the title of the procedure. This will allow the crew to be aware of the situation and be prepared to react (crew coordination, task sharing and communication)
GPWS
As soon as avoidance manoeuvre is envisaged.
"PULL UP TOGA"
WINDSHEAR
"WINDSHEAR TOGA"
UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED INDICATION
"UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED"
TCAS
As soon as "TRAFFIC" warining is trigggered
"TCAS - I have control"
EMREGENCY DESCENT
"EMERGENCY DESCENT"
LOSS OF BRAKING
"LOSS OF BRAKING"


I think it is quite in-line with ideas posted above. It is essential that crews do not mistake calls so the less calls the better. The TCAS call was introduced only lately to help prevent dual inputs during RA response, this is specific to Airbus FBW cockpit design. The above is original manufacturer's guidance.
